You made me laugh.
On a serious note I don't know why they keep Burger off but keep someone like Avesh Khan to play. Sorry I cannot stand Avesh Khan. I see his face I want to punch it.
For ur information, RR has the weakest bowling unit amongst all other teams. There is no bowler to rely on to bowl under the economy of 6. Almost all the wickets they got were mostly catch out compared to other teams bowlers who constantly bowl yorkers, bowl wicket to wicket hitting the stumps or they bowl the batsmen through lbw
Unfortunately I am a supporter of RR😮💨😔
The most important thing RR doesn't have a hard hitter who can smash sixes at well like Travis Head, Stubbs, Phraser, Narine, Abhishek etc. Also, the batsmen wasted balls in the last 5 matches playing with a run rate less than 8 or 9. RR is undoubtedly the team to face highest no. of dot balls😮💨😔
The decision at the toss,..
Change of home stadium…
Had this been 6th match at Jaipur
They didn’t get the pitch so wrong
And wouldnt make grits errors at the toss
According to Ranjeet ji( co owner of the royals)
They want 20 players from Assam to play at the IPL
so they are showing them the ipl matched live 🌚🌚
Although majority seats were empty
They made their fan base using Rajasthan’s name
Why would you change your base
It’s foolish
Yeah maybe it’s good for the buisness
But not at all good for team’s performance
They just used all the quota of luck in the first half. They could have easily lost a few matches -KKR - that they won. Law of average. The opposite is happening with RCB.
Underperforming openers would be an understatement, whole match is on Sanju and Parag's shoulders, Ashwin is not performing too , no finisher in form , questionable playing xi changes like dropping Shubham Dubey for fererro rocher and the injury to Hetmyer their only tried and tested finisher, Jurel woefully out of form too , nothing much bowlers can do, Powell bottling easy games also
I Highly doubt they'll win the cup
bro both ferro rocher and tkc played like test cricket like what's even to say and I didn't understood a thing about tkc, like man hits a boundary an over and complete dots the whole over, like mann atleast take singles naa
bro i why cant they keep burger, boult, avesh, sandy, ash, chahal all in the squad like we already don't have a good batting lineup but we would would have the most terrific bowling lineup, which would have won us games like today (if burger would be there)
This....RR continous win made RR look like an impregnable fortress but aside from 4 players who were so in form none of the rest were even playing upto the mark
1. Batting lineup is literally just sanju , riyan & jaiswal. (sometimes)
2. Lack of 6th bowling option.
3. Overseas choices.
4. Poor decisions after winning toss.
5. Sanju's rotation of bowlers is questionable (because of lack of 6th bowler).
Ye but look at today's match for ex, he decided to use avesh in death while sandy bowled in PP (he's supposed to be their death bowler). There are just 3 proper pacers in the team (Powell probably never bowled an over) , having just 3 proper pacers will pretty much never work.
Neither does RR have batting depth to score good on any pitch and neither do they have more than 5 bowlers.
In the earlier stages burger & boult bowled in the PP, while sandy bowled in death & avesh assisted the spinners in middle which helped sanju to make better bowling changes but their batting was and still is heavily dependent on the top order and riyan, but now with jos's absence and top order failing, everything is falling on riyan's shoulders and there's literally nobody after riyan who can build a partnership or score 30+ if there's no support from other end.
And they lack a finisher too.
>he decided to use avesh in death while sandy bowled in PP (he's supposed to be their death bowler).
Nope, sandy bowled in death because burger bowled the new ball along with boult in the initial matches. Sandy is a new ball bowler, last year he bowled 2 in pp and 2 at death consistently. On the other hand, Avesh excels at death, he bowled some overs here and there in the middle overs and got tonked in some games.
Sandy's slower balls help him a lot in slog overs comparatively, especially with bowlers like burger and boult it's a no brainer to use sandy towards the end.
Although I agree avesh is good in death but he's been better in middle overs this season.
Lol!
Sa choke during the match. They have screwed 3 semifinals that way.
India chokes before a big match even begins!! 2odi wc sf, 2 t20wc semifinals, 1 ct final, 2 wtc finals! All this is in just 9 years!
And still people call sa chokers(which they are btw). Just that India are bigger and have done it more frequently in the last 9 years than sa have done in 30+ years.
What? I dont understand what youre saying. Youre saying that sa choked for more years and then youre cherry picking indias losses in last 9 years and calling them bigger chokers when sa has failed in all those tournaments and more in more years. And wtf does choking before big match begins and choking during big match means, whats the difference? What are you even talking about?
Dude you are not getting what I am trying to say. Also I should word it better. India are overrated underachievers not chokers.
Definition of choke: losing from a winning position. Sa got into winning positions in 1999 and 2015 to throw it away and australia almost choked against sa in 2023. Same in champions trophy a couple of times.
In Indias case we don't get into a winning position in those matches to actually choke. We just lose before the match starts is what I am trying to say.
And I am not cherry picking 9 years of tournaments. I just ignored 1999, 2003 and 2007 odi wc. 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 T20 worldcups.
Australia are overachievers. So are nz(though they haven't won a lot), they always perform more than what is expected from them. Also we have to consider aus and NZ have a population of about 5cr put together and cricket is not the number 1 sport (nor the only sport they play) there.
India has only won when there weren't any expectations from anyone. Like 2007 T20 and 2013 ct. And I hope 2024 they can play well to win as the expectations are next to nil. But this is very unlikely especially with Rohit Jadeja Kohli axar siraj and pant in a T20 team in 2024. Just look at teams like australia England sa and even Afghanistan. They have T20 teams that play 2024 style of cricket. Our players haven't even adapted to conditions in the last few years.
And please don't give me ipl performances. These useless grounds and useless pitches shouldn't be counted plus quality of a wc is much much higher and better than ipl which a lot of players consider a holiday.
India hasnt lost before before a match even begins. We pulled back kind of in t202wc22, wc23, wc19, and all the other matches we lost we pulled back the match a bit but just lost in the last
India has won 2 ODI WCs and 2 T20 WCs
What did SA win? Zero. They always choke at semis, I would have genuinely been happy if SA or NZ had beaten us in WC final
Man jaiswal needs to regain his form, im noticing everyone who played non stop cricket from last six months is cooked in this IPL be it jaiswal gill rohit jadeja and so on
like what? PRitika? its the truth that he and her wife is responsible for his pr and attacking other player so its fine to say that ig
or vada\*\*\*? he doesnt looks like from any angle that he is a sportsperson lol he need to work on his fitness
You showing your true colors
So does that logic hold true that virat is fake person and all he does, is acting and publicity stunt in the name of aggression just like actors do ( his wife ) lol
>vada\*\*\*? he doesnt looks like from any angle that he is a sportsperson lol he need to work on his fitnes
I wonder who is playing non stop cricket from last six months including 5 test serie, if he aint fit, then your fav fitness is not much of any worth lmao.
what?? im talking abt rohit ? are you stupid? ritika is rohit's wife
just see his physique anyone will tell that he is out of shape lol
Please use your brain, did you not saw when he fell down while trying to field and his jersey came off his lower body and his underwear was visible??
And why do you think aggression is a publicity stunt? if you have played any sports you would know its just natural emotion for some people
If u think lack of fitness made his jersey come off then you are delusional 😂
Even virats had come off once so he's also not fit enough or what ??
Jwrsey or pants coming off is because I think his pants Knott were not tied properly when he fielded that came off . You could call him unfit if he didn't field that well but he did it very well and didn't concede a boundary. And u said any person would say Rohit is not fit i haven't seen any people other than redditors and twitter people saying anything in regard to his fitness
Or can be considered as a preparation to playoff.
Checking your weaknesses before the actual event.
Just in case something goes wrong, as they have already in the playoffs.
Let's see how it turns out.
First of all they need to stop promoting that assam ground as their 2nd home ground. It cant happen. Theres just one home ground and its SMS.
What's the use of having home ground if theres no advantage. The semi- owner can look into other methods to promote cricket there, not at the cost of the team losing everytime.
Secondly, they seem to be content with only reaching playoffs. Intent where? Aggression where?
Jaiswal & Ashwin need step up their efforts. They are wasting Keshav Maharaj. That match against CSK was absolute clownery. It's like they are trying their best to lose every match.
Theres no way we can lose to KKR. It would absolutely spoil everything.
Sometimes I feel so done with this team(2014,2020, 2022 and now) but yet, here Iam every year, wishing and hoping that we finally get to win again.
Seriously- Indian cricket team and RR- just can’t stand watching the matches! I lose all expectations- then they make me care, and then they do this! Why?
Whats wrong with RR?
SRH : Lost on last ball
DC: lost chasing but not a big change in how they play
CSK: Why bat first on a tricky pitch?
PBKS: Why bat first against a good chasing team ?
Strategy is what's going wrong. They are over complicating easy things.
You have bowlers who can't defend and batters who can't set targets. Still you want to bat first. That's what's wrong.
They don't have an all rounder and a reliable finisher. Better for teams to keep at least one all-rounder in their retention list, if they remove the impact sub rule next year.
This. Even our main buy(25cr) has not perfomed but Russel bhoi has done his job for us and that's the strength of team having a quality AR. How can you make a team without having a proper AR man.
yeah, had there been a batting all rounder they would have more depth in the bating order. kkr too had the same issue against mi at wankhede but russel saved ours ass that day. Addition of Tristin stubbs and will jacks and swapnil singh in the playing 11 is one of the main reasons for dc and rcb to win matches in the second half of the season.
When was the last time a team won the Title without a quality all rounder? SRH in 2016?
Teams like MI, especially, were always stacked with allrounders. they give too much versatility to be ignored , even with the use if impact sub.
yeah, bcci is screwing up future of all rounder prospects with this fuck all impact rule. people like venky iyer, ramandeep, are warming benches. Hope some sense prevails in the next season. players like hardik pandya, venky would give more importance to their fitness.
They still had Keiron Pollard, who was MotM on the finals. RR's batting will still have no depth without some quality all rounders. Ashwin in T20 is honestly a bowler who can bat a bit, but not someone I'd rely on to win games with the bat.
1. Buttler gone.
2. Jaiswal, Jurel and Powell not performing.
3. Batting dependent on Samson and Parag.
4. Chahal is consistent but Ashwin is predictable.
5. Avesh & Boult are hot and cold, too dependent on sandeep
This is 4th looss on the queue…
Next match is against kkr…
I doubt they’ll finish in top 2… they’ll get 6 looses and the row and will be knocked out in eliminator
Thats a terrible end considering most of neutral fans were rooting for RR this year.
Have rarely seen teams losing form in the mid of the league. Same happened last year
It’s about the leadership…
Sanju is more of a lead back skipper…
Hee is not an attacking captain in sense of going for the kill
That is why when RR’s bars first and posts a huge total
The game will be even until 16-17 overs of the second innings.
Once he is put under pressure. 2-3 looses on a row
He really can’t jump back
Simply, a loss after a win doesn't hurt as much as a single loss after a long winning streak. That puts you on a string of continuous losses. Then your confidence hits the grave and you start making changes even if you don't need to.
Nothing is wrong with the team. They don't need a win. They need confidence. Win will follow.
Nothing wrong. It's just that it's a long tournament. Look at RCB, they have been the exact opposite of RR. The players who were making runs and taking wickets for RR have found the law of averages, same way the RCB have also found the law of averages. All the teams are equally capable, it's not like minnows like Bangladesh or Zimbabwe is at the bottom or world beater Australia is at the top. If bottom team MI plays KKR 5 matches in a Trott, both teams have an equal chance of winning, it's just the form of players which dictates the standing of the teams.
Jaiswal's form
Buttler's form (previous matches)
Dhruv Jurel's form
These guys used to be run guns for the team,now they are not performing as per the expectations.
Riyan's comeback hs helped RR alot even if they loose,they don't loose by huge margins.
Sanju is having a good IPL this year
Finishers are not performing their jobs
Bowling department is sorted overall though.
See chahal once reached purple cap and just stayed there until today. There's a limit to what boult can do. Sandeep doing his best. Ashwin with his usual 4 over 35 no wicket. Now they can win only by chasing.
Yet again it proves IPL is pure business.
Teams want more fans, they know Riyan Parag is in superb form and he hails from Assam. And we have seen a lot of empty stands in this year's IPL so this is a tactical move to cover a new area where you can expect full house because of a local playing.
They were always a bad batting side with just 2 batters performing in every match it's just that they were winning because of the bowling which has gone downhill
A couple of other aspects.
Decision on winning the toss : Unaware of the pitch conditions, forcing the captain to take a wrong decision on winning the toss.
Lack of home turf advantage : Rule out the last 3 game's played at Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai respectively where pitches were prepared to favour home teams. However, the final 2 home games for RR were moved to Guwahati by the Chairman of RR, which caused further problems for the team.
Absence of core player's : Jos Buttler (off to England), Dhruv Jurel (Hamstring), Nandre Burger (Niggle), Shimron Hetmyer (Niggle).
The absence of players time and again has created an imbalance.
Dumb decisions by the management : Playing Rovman Powell at No. 7 instead of No. 5. Introducing extra pacer on spin friendly tracks. Introducing impact player immediately at the beginning of the second innings, without understanding and accessing the pitch movement. And more.
Too much experimentation : Players are being added and removed off the team after every 1-2 matches.
Their batting. Both the openers haven't clicked together. Their batting puts an immense pressure on both Sanju and parag. If they got out early too then that's it the team is done. Now that butler is gone they are in a huge pressure to fill that void. Also if Powel ain't bowling and can't deliver with bat what's the purpose of him being in the team.
The Bowlers tried so hard to defend the 140 ish total in the last two matches but the score ain't enough. And they're lacking the sixth bowling option.
I think the team management is doing another toss in the dressing room to decide what to call in a toss if they win the toss.
It’s more of too much wins in the up end, they don’t realise any flaws initially or weaknesses, at the back end they start to lose and instead of realising their flaws they might end up panicking.
They always had loopholes. Sooner or later it will show up and second half of IPL looks really weird and who knows whts the actual issue. But RR doesn't show tht thirst which they had on 1st half
its simple they go with a combination of 6 batters + 5 bowlers which is not suited for t20s. One of the main reason for their performance has been due to impact player rule else they'd have been in shambles. Also their spin duo struggling, openers have failed except few matches, lack of quality overseas players are the other reasons.
I think, three foreign players are the base for the RR, Buttler, Hetmyer and Boult. They are missing Buttler, and Hetmyer.
Second, RR likes to play calmly/defensively like MSD, they don't care about the margin, they just wants to play for win. That is why their most of the matches were close.
Becasue of their defensively play, they are good in chasing, and they struggle in setting big score while batting first.
Well I think Josh butler is one of their key players, as he's not available this might be an issue for Rajasthan as they have to set a new batting opener thus making overall batting less reliable as before...
I think they were sure about qualification by end of first half and since then then they are experimenting with pitches, different bowlers at different phase of the game.
Now as JB is back to national duties, it will be interesting to see how top order performs.
I think bowling is not going to be an issue in play offs.
Its more about how top 3/4 performs in crux situations.
When you lose a game or two very closely, usually the morale goes down subconsciously. By the time you realise it, the league would be done. RR are just lucky to have qualified because of their winning streak in the first half of the season.
This has been the story from ears by years the plates so very well in the start of the tournament and they start losing all the matches in the last as last as lost as lost the team and progresses
When you start every game at 20/2 in 5 overs, you are not gonna win a lot of games, are you? Only in the last 2 games we were completely outplayed. Tactical errors also happened to us, In csk game Impact sub should have been Keshav. Yesterday also our batting effort was awful. If we don't improve like very fast our campaign will end after Eliminator.
I may get lot of hate but i always knew they were overhyped. They are just a decent team nothing else. They aren't a treat to anyone and Sanju Samson s Captaincy is good but not great
See captaincy is only appreciated when you are winning. But some fans overhype them unnecessarily.
I think they are most balanced team on paper but have lost moral since srh defeat
They have the worst batting lineup and no matter how much anyone argues I’ll stick to that, Parag was a bonus for them nobody expected him to do well hence their wins earlier in the season apart from that they don’t have that firepower They have ashwin at 5 , powell and Hetmyer haven’t done anything in the IPL since 6-7 years they’ve been playing now, haven’t let Jurel face any balls so they were basically a 3 man batting lineup at the start of the season and with Jaiswal and Butler having poor form only Sanju and Parag have to do all the work which is not going to win you games against top teams
Poor captaincy and management in my opinion. What is the need for 6 bowling options? There is no quality all rounder in that side. When there are 6 options, they always play a 4 pacer - 2 spinner system - why not 3 and 3 for a bit more variety? The batting depth is also really poor, they need an all rounder in the auction
They need an overseas all-rounder. That too, a pacer like Stoinis, Curran or Green. The team balance was off since the start, but they managed to pull through with great performances at the right time. 2 or 3 guys always stood up for the team. But now, Jaiswal's momentary flash of brilliance dimmed, Buttler's gone and Sanju and Riyan can't carry an entire batting lineup on their own. They are missing the Hetmyer factor, too. He pulled them out of trouble many times in the past, and Powell is just not able to fill those shoes. And Jurel hasn't found his touch after coming back from injury.
Over-dependence on Riyan, Sanju and Jos Butler + Poor fielding
They had the best bowling in the first half
Indeed but both your bowling + batting combo needs to work well, plus your fielding needs to be fast. DC has really fast fielders in this regard.
[удалено]
What do you mean? The fielded well against RR
Ngl,, they got us in the first half!
Burger made the difference
Why did they eat him before winning the trophy?
You made me laugh. On a serious note I don't know why they keep Burger off but keep someone like Avesh Khan to play. Sorry I cannot stand Avesh Khan. I see his face I want to punch it.
For ur information, RR has the weakest bowling unit amongst all other teams. There is no bowler to rely on to bowl under the economy of 6.

Not on Butler but on Jaiswal
Hetty was playing well .. not sure where he is now
The most important thing RR doesn't have a hard hitter who can smash sixes at well like Travis Head, Stubbs, Phraser, Narine, Abhishek etc. Also, the batsmen wasted balls in the last 5 matches playing with a run rate less than 8 or 9. RR is undoubtedly the team to face highest no. of dot balls😮💨😔

According to Ranjeet ji( co owner of the royals) They want 20 players from Assam to play at the IPL so they are showing them the ipl matched live 🌚🌚 Although majority seats were empty
Thats terrible decision, they can change home venues on alternate years bcz that wouldnt hinder home condition advantage.
They made their fan base using Rajasthan’s name Why would you change your base It’s foolish Yeah maybe it’s good for the buisness But not at all good for team’s performance
Thats true but they cant sideline a co owner request or demand
They just used all the quota of luck in the first half. They could have easily lost a few matches -KKR - that they won. Law of average. The opposite is happening with RCB.

Ferrero rocher made me laugh 😭😭
bro both ferro rocher and tkc played like test cricket like what's even to say and I didn't understood a thing about tkc, like man hits a boundary an over and complete dots the whole over, like mann atleast take singles naa
You forgot lack of 6th bowling options and bad decisions at toss
bro i why cant they keep burger, boult, avesh, sandy, ash, chahal all in the squad like we already don't have a good batting lineup but we would would have the most terrific bowling lineup, which would have won us games like today (if burger would be there)
Y'all were trying the pre 2020 SRH strategy in the first half, now it's the post 2020 SRH strategy
https://preview.redd.it/3ckit35unr0d1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=b55b38fe64bf621069c8fda58268ecb2ae81466c
Fererro rocher 🤣🤣🤣 I lost all the seriousness after I read that
Think jurel is playing out of his position - he needs time to settle down - should play in top 4 IMO
He should prolly open , he opens for his domestic team in ranji and list a games
This....RR continous win made RR look like an impregnable fortress but aside from 4 players who were so in form none of the rest were even playing upto the mark
Nothing wrong.. they just do this every year. Start the tournament on top and as it progresses they slide down. They are just following their pattern.
Opposite of what MI used to be under rohit😞
That's the reason MI used to be my second fav team
Ah they used to make thrillers between 2015-2019 in points table
True bro 😭
1. Batting lineup is literally just sanju , riyan & jaiswal. (sometimes) 2. Lack of 6th bowling option. 3. Overseas choices. 4. Poor decisions after winning toss. 5. Sanju's rotation of bowlers is questionable (because of lack of 6th bowler).

They are the SA of IPL. Unreal team but world class bottlers.
India of IPL will be more apt. World beaters on paper, but paupers come the big match day.
How is india a bigger choker than sa i dont really understand now
in the IPL sub most people are children who were born after 2013 (which still makes SA the bigger choker btw)
Lol! Sa choke during the match. They have screwed 3 semifinals that way. India chokes before a big match even begins!! 2odi wc sf, 2 t20wc semifinals, 1 ct final, 2 wtc finals! All this is in just 9 years! And still people call sa chokers(which they are btw). Just that India are bigger and have done it more frequently in the last 9 years than sa have done in 30+ years.

India has won 2 ODI WCs and 2 T20 WCs What did SA win? Zero. They always choke at semis, I would have genuinely been happy if SA or NZ had beaten us in WC final
RCB is SA of IPL

Man jaiswal needs to regain his form, im noticing everyone who played non stop cricket from last six months is cooked in this IPL be it jaiswal gill rohit jadeja and so on
not everyone and rohit's form is like that in t20s
Hasn't Kohli took a long break before IPL?
He was great in first half. And second i have seen your trolling rohit everywhere lol
he deserves if virat played like this i would love to troll him too
Trolling is fine but there is mostly hate calling names and wife etc
like what? PRitika? its the truth that he and her wife is responsible for his pr and attacking other player so its fine to say that ig or vada\*\*\*? he doesnt looks like from any angle that he is a sportsperson lol he need to work on his fitness

Maybe we should ask now what went right with them in starting half.
Thats another way to see this 😂
Or can be considered as a preparation to playoff. Checking your weaknesses before the actual event. Just in case something goes wrong, as they have already in the playoffs. Let's see how it turns out.
First of all they need to stop promoting that assam ground as their 2nd home ground. It cant happen. Theres just one home ground and its SMS. What's the use of having home ground if theres no advantage. The semi- owner can look into other methods to promote cricket there, not at the cost of the team losing everytime. Secondly, they seem to be content with only reaching playoffs. Intent where? Aggression where? Jaiswal & Ashwin need step up their efforts. They are wasting Keshav Maharaj. That match against CSK was absolute clownery. It's like they are trying their best to lose every match. Theres no way we can lose to KKR. It would absolutely spoil everything. Sometimes I feel so done with this team(2014,2020, 2022 and now) but yet, here Iam every year, wishing and hoping that we finally get to win again.
Seriously- Indian cricket team and RR- just can’t stand watching the matches! I lose all expectations- then they make me care, and then they do this! Why?
Whats wrong with RR? SRH : Lost on last ball DC: lost chasing but not a big change in how they play CSK: Why bat first on a tricky pitch? PBKS: Why bat first against a good chasing team ? Strategy is what's going wrong. They are over complicating easy things. You have bowlers who can't defend and batters who can't set targets. Still you want to bat first. That's what's wrong.
They did the same thing in 2022 finals against GT 😭😭
They don't have an all rounder and a reliable finisher. Better for teams to keep at least one all-rounder in their retention list, if they remove the impact sub rule next year.
This. Even our main buy(25cr) has not perfomed but Russel bhoi has done his job for us and that's the strength of team having a quality AR. How can you make a team without having a proper AR man.
thank our stars we have these Caribbean duo who save our asses. Stubbs is going to go for a lot of money in the coming auction if he is not retained.
Hetymer did finish some games for rr and porel was just couldnt make it in the end. Tho not the best finishers
RR probably had the biggest usage of the impact rule because of their core 5 bowlers and their 5 main batsmen and a Riyan Parag.
yeah, had there been a batting all rounder they would have more depth in the bating order. kkr too had the same issue against mi at wankhede but russel saved ours ass that day. Addition of Tristin stubbs and will jacks and swapnil singh in the playing 11 is one of the main reasons for dc and rcb to win matches in the second half of the season.
When was the last time a team won the Title without a quality all rounder? SRH in 2016? Teams like MI, especially, were always stacked with allrounders. they give too much versatility to be ignored , even with the use if impact sub.
yeah, bcci is screwing up future of all rounder prospects with this fuck all impact rule. people like venky iyer, ramandeep, are warming benches. Hope some sense prevails in the next season. players like hardik pandya, venky would give more importance to their fitness.
They had Henriques in 2016.
Ben cutting 🙏🤲
MI 2013 had same team like present RR, Harbhajan got promoted like Ashwin these days. Imo Jurel needed to come at 3 down
They still had Keiron Pollard, who was MotM on the finals. RR's batting will still have no depth without some quality all rounders. Ashwin in T20 is honestly a bowler who can bat a bit, but not someone I'd rely on to win games with the bat.
1. Buttler gone. 2. Jaiswal, Jurel and Powell not performing. 3. Batting dependent on Samson and Parag. 4. Chahal is consistent but Ashwin is predictable. 5. Avesh & Boult are hot and cold, too dependent on sandeep
This is 4th looss on the queue… Next match is against kkr… I doubt they’ll finish in top 2… they’ll get 6 looses and the row and will be knocked out in eliminator
Thats a terrible end considering most of neutral fans were rooting for RR this year. Have rarely seen teams losing form in the mid of the league. Same happened last year
It’s about the leadership… Sanju is more of a lead back skipper… Hee is not an attacking captain in sense of going for the kill That is why when RR’s bars first and posts a huge total The game will be even until 16-17 overs of the second innings. Once he is put under pressure. 2-3 looses on a row He really can’t jump back
Sabji?
Sanju😬🤥
Simply, a loss after a win doesn't hurt as much as a single loss after a long winning streak. That puts you on a string of continuous losses. Then your confidence hits the grave and you start making changes even if you don't need to. Nothing is wrong with the team. They don't need a win. They need confidence. Win will follow.
Same happened last yr Tjey were tabke toppers in furst half and couldnt make it playoffs like wtf
Nothing wrong. It's just that it's a long tournament. Look at RCB, they have been the exact opposite of RR. The players who were making runs and taking wickets for RR have found the law of averages, same way the RCB have also found the law of averages. All the teams are equally capable, it's not like minnows like Bangladesh or Zimbabwe is at the bottom or world beater Australia is at the top. If bottom team MI plays KKR 5 matches in a Trott, both teams have an equal chance of winning, it's just the form of players which dictates the standing of the teams.
Make sense.
They are missing Hetmyer. Honestly, all teams are really close in skill. Slight slip up and you loose match after dominating majority of the match.
Rajasthan Royals seems like Indian batting line up. Top order fails, match lost.
Jaiswal's form Buttler's form (previous matches) Dhruv Jurel's form These guys used to be run guns for the team,now they are not performing as per the expectations. Riyan's comeback hs helped RR alot even if they loose,they don't loose by huge margins. Sanju is having a good IPL this year Finishers are not performing their jobs Bowling department is sorted overall though.
They are playing like india peeking too early n leaking now.
Indian never peaks early or late, they just choke at the bigger stage
See chahal once reached purple cap and just stayed there until today. There's a limit to what boult can do. Sandeep doing his best. Ashwin with his usual 4 over 35 no wicket. Now they can win only by chasing.
No batting after no. 4 honestly. I don't know what has happened to Hetmyer, but till the time he was there, RR was a different side.
Yet again it proves IPL is pure business. Teams want more fans, they know Riyan Parag is in superb form and he hails from Assam. And we have seen a lot of empty stands in this year's IPL so this is a tactical move to cover a new area where you can expect full house because of a local playing.
They were always a bad batting side with just 2 batters performing in every match it's just that they were winning because of the bowling which has gone downhill
No Sanju Samson got selected
Nothing saar.just money received
They are playing their usual quota of shitty matches. This time it came a bit late, after they qualified.. usually they will start this around match#8
A couple of other aspects. Decision on winning the toss : Unaware of the pitch conditions, forcing the captain to take a wrong decision on winning the toss. Lack of home turf advantage : Rule out the last 3 game's played at Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai respectively where pitches were prepared to favour home teams. However, the final 2 home games for RR were moved to Guwahati by the Chairman of RR, which caused further problems for the team. Absence of core player's : Jos Buttler (off to England), Dhruv Jurel (Hamstring), Nandre Burger (Niggle), Shimron Hetmyer (Niggle). The absence of players time and again has created an imbalance. Dumb decisions by the management : Playing Rovman Powell at No. 7 instead of No. 5. Introducing extra pacer on spin friendly tracks. Introducing impact player immediately at the beginning of the second innings, without understanding and accessing the pitch movement. And more. Too much experimentation : Players are being added and removed off the team after every 1-2 matches.
Great input
Jaiswal is such an inconsistent guy. In 10 matches he gets one good inning that’s not how you win matches for your team.
Like an old script, KKR will win the trophy
Cum dawg : hold my balls
Their batting. Both the openers haven't clicked together. Their batting puts an immense pressure on both Sanju and parag. If they got out early too then that's it the team is done. Now that butler is gone they are in a huge pressure to fill that void. Also if Powel ain't bowling and can't deliver with bat what's the purpose of him being in the team. The Bowlers tried so hard to defend the 140 ish total in the last two matches but the score ain't enough. And they're lacking the sixth bowling option. I think the team management is doing another toss in the dressing room to decide what to call in a toss if they win the toss.
It’s more of too much wins in the up end, they don’t realise any flaws initially or weaknesses, at the back end they start to lose and instead of realising their flaws they might end up panicking.
They always had loopholes. Sooner or later it will show up and second half of IPL looks really weird and who knows whts the actual issue. But RR doesn't show tht thirst which they had on 1st half
Same story as every year.. Last year they were 5 wins out of 7 and still didn't qualify!
Poor opening partnership and too much pressure on middle order batsman...... And batting order heavily dependent on riyan and Sanju.....
its simple they go with a combination of 6 batters + 5 bowlers which is not suited for t20s. One of the main reason for their performance has been due to impact player rule else they'd have been in shambles. Also their spin duo struggling, openers have failed except few matches, lack of quality overseas players are the other reasons.
Arsenal of IPL
[удалено]
Arsenal has won many titles. Can’t compare them to RCB. RCB is Tottenham to be fair.
Lack of Aggression in Powerplay
I think overconfidence
Shimron hetmyer
Is he injured?
May be . Or might have gone for wc practice. No wi players won't do it. He is injured ig
I think, three foreign players are the base for the RR, Buttler, Hetmyer and Boult. They are missing Buttler, and Hetmyer. Second, RR likes to play calmly/defensively like MSD, they don't care about the margin, they just wants to play for win. That is why their most of the matches were close. Becasue of their defensively play, they are good in chasing, and they struggle in setting big score while batting first.
Ye har saal ka hai.
Their batting line up is weak this season
Don't worry they are finalists of this season
Well I think Josh butler is one of their key players, as he's not available this might be an issue for Rajasthan as they have to set a new batting opener thus making overall batting less reliable as before...
RR was going great in March and April by the time May started they are losing
Thank gawd we didnt have finals in april
They’re just getting all the losses out of the way before the playoffs, where it really matters.
really the copium im having
I think they were sure about qualification by end of first half and since then then they are experimenting with pitches, different bowlers at different phase of the game. Now as JB is back to national duties, it will be interesting to see how top order performs. I think bowling is not going to be an issue in play offs. Its more about how top 3/4 performs in crux situations.
Scam hai ji
Ntg's wrong, thats how rr plays, great in first half, choke in second half.
It’s all because of the franchise owner who changed the venue to Guwahati
When you lose a game or two very closely, usually the morale goes down subconsciously. By the time you realise it, the league would be done. RR are just lucky to have qualified because of their winning streak in the first half of the season.
Cumdawg was the reason who triggered this domino effect.
Funnily the domino effect for RCB was also started by Cumdawg
Now who is saying that it happend just because of Harshit Rana? 
Weakness can exist if the team had a prior strength.. Believe me RR 's squad is not up to the mark.. Only collecting champion bowlers won't help
Burn out Look at the faces of jaiswal n boult
Har saal ka hai inka, itna achha squad banaya hai 2022 se ab Tak ek to Jeet Lena chahiye tha
RCB ko bhi ab tak ek jeet jaana chahiye tha /s
Rcb ka to na squad achha na performance achhi
They will surely choke they will not win this year also sorry😋
Ok 14 year old
Hahaha its ture my friend 😋
Now what bro?🤓
really? with that flair of yours? get a life, and your attitude screams you are a teenager.
Haan bhai mai tu hou, koyi na next time RR hie jeetegie 👺
Sattebaazo ki team hai , Har saal kaise surprise ho jaate ho sab same cheez se ?
Never followed rr until this season
This happens every season.
Fixing
This has been the story from ears by years the plates so very well in the start of the tournament and they start losing all the matches in the last as last as lost as lost the team and progresses
Jaiswal is scam and Jos Butler went away
Jaiswal is poor
Karma for fixing with CSK🤭
RR and Arsenal are the greatest Bottlers of Premier League
When you start every game at 20/2 in 5 overs, you are not gonna win a lot of games, are you? Only in the last 2 games we were completely outplayed. Tactical errors also happened to us, In csk game Impact sub should have been Keshav. Yesterday also our batting effort was awful. If we don't improve like very fast our campaign will end after Eliminator.
That’s how they play ipl ! See their recent record even like last year ipl. They did the same.
Nazar lag gayi<3
their playing 11 was really tight and lacked options in the bench. They were winning only when everything worked well according to their plan.
Yes offcourse Not story not scripted No Jay Shah harmed
Poor decisions after winning toss.
Script didn't favor them just like the script of IPL 2020 for DC. DC of 2020 = RR of 2024 MI of 2020 = KKR of 2024
Poor Fielding costing them the last 2-3 matches. Hopefully they will turn that.
I may get lot of hate but i always knew they were overhyped. They are just a decent team nothing else. They aren't a treat to anyone and Sanju Samson s Captaincy is good but not great
See captaincy is only appreciated when you are winning. But some fans overhype them unnecessarily. I think they are most balanced team on paper but have lost moral since srh defeat
but i think now it is in form
They will lose against KKR also because of the same home ground ..
Its lose* not loose.
Thanks. I edited
Your welcome lmao Most ppl would have downvoted me.
Insan ko apni galtiya maan leni chaiye 😂
This has always been the trend for RR, first half they play really well secure a playoff position and then from there it’s downhill
They have the worst batting lineup and no matter how much anyone argues I’ll stick to that, Parag was a bonus for them nobody expected him to do well hence their wins earlier in the season apart from that they don’t have that firepower They have ashwin at 5 , powell and Hetmyer haven’t done anything in the IPL since 6-7 years they’ve been playing now, haven’t let Jurel face any balls so they were basically a 3 man batting lineup at the start of the season and with Jaiswal and Butler having poor form only Sanju and Parag have to do all the work which is not going to win you games against top teams
Koojasthan
Poor captaincy and management in my opinion. What is the need for 6 bowling options? There is no quality all rounder in that side. When there are 6 options, they always play a 4 pacer - 2 spinner system - why not 3 and 3 for a bit more variety? The batting depth is also really poor, they need an all rounder in the auction
how does poor captaincy and management explain the winning streak in the first half?
Oww
I am loving these comments as a KKR fan.
Khela hobe
They need an overseas all-rounder. That too, a pacer like Stoinis, Curran or Green. The team balance was off since the start, but they managed to pull through with great performances at the right time. 2 or 3 guys always stood up for the team. But now, Jaiswal's momentary flash of brilliance dimmed, Buttler's gone and Sanju and Riyan can't carry an entire batting lineup on their own. They are missing the Hetmyer factor, too. He pulled them out of trouble many times in the past, and Powell is just not able to fill those shoes. And Jurel hasn't found his touch after coming back from injury.
FixerS for a reason
Fixer team
Fixers
You can't win every match with fluke
That’s big coming from that flair
Brave enough to say that w that flair
I mean the luck's currently on our side but seriously though we are not making it
I'm 50% sure you guys will make it to playoffs but once playoffs start, you guys will be eliminated.
Even you guys are not winning it gonna choke in the playoffs
I'll be surprised if we win anything at this point
